Joined: 30/08/2002(UTC) Posts: 1,210		Here’s a bit of a mystery: Trainsdepot have published the ACME Catalog 2024 Preview, and the below picture is derived from page 49. However, on ACME’s own website, the ”same” catalog has only 32 pages and different content. It seems like Trainsdepot’have a scanned copy of a catalog. Also, I couldn’t find anything about a Re 450 on the ACME site. Would be great to have an alternative to the rare and expensive Re 450 from HAG, but would you have some more information about this ACME Re 450? In addition, what could ”Exclusive for K M L” (below) mean? EDIT: Found it https://www.kml-log.ch . Indicates that the odds of a lower price will increase…

Indicates that the odds of a lower price will increase… It seems this is a Swiss dealership that gets special items for that market. The Stummis forum New Items 2024 thread has a link to a Kibri brochure done for the same dealership with a heap of Swiss buildings and some related items in it.

I too am a little sad it is "CH only" - there were many Piko items I would have purchased had they been available elsewhere. Between exchange rates, shipping, and US shipments not having to pay the higher "rest of EU" vat, the prices on the CH-only models are prohibitive.

AC versions will be produced for and distributed by KML-Log, the Swiss distributor of ACME, LS Models and other brands. I presume that since there is a higher number of 3 Rail modellers in Switzerland than in Italy, that KML committed to ordering a specific quantity and it was decided that all AC models produced will go to the Swiss market and be marketed by KML.

There are also dealers that will not ship outside of Switzerland and so that is an added hindrance.

That is for sure, a few years back one Swiss dealer had the HAG version for CHF 1629.00!!!!
